           Summary: Required font metric files are for sazanami, not kochi
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
          Priority: high
         Component: publican
        AssignedTo: jfearn at redhat.com
        ReportedBy: ssato at redhat.com

Description of problem:
publican contains font metric files for some Japanese fonts
(kochi-{gothic,mincho}-subst).

However, we (Japanese) don't use those fonts any more. Kochi-subst fonts are now
replaced with Sazanami fonts. As far as I confirmed, both RHEL5+ and Fedora
ships sazanami fonts instead of kochi-subst fonts.


So, required font metric files are for Sazanami, not Kochi-subst.

Could you please regenerate and include font metric files for
sazanami-{gothic,mincho}.ttf, with Fop's TTFReader?

If you cannot please let me know and I will post these metrics files here.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
publican-0.33-0.fc9.noarch


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
/usr/share/publican/fop/font-metrics*/kochi-{gothic,mincho}-subst.xml


Expected results:

/usr/share/publican/fop/font-metrics*/sazanami-{gothic,mincho}-subst.xml



Additional info:

It might be better to post as another bug reports for the following issues but
note here just for the record.

 * This version of publican does not look supporting current fop (0.95-0.2) in
rawhide.
   I guess that it perhaps might be neat if there is a version-independent fop.xconf
   for fallback.

   fop-0.20.x is old and has many issues. you may drop the support for it, I guess.


 * Japanese truetype fonts should be embedded to keep portability.
